[So the past few days in the Bastion have been very hectic and a little more than emotionally stressful for everyone. About two days have come and gone since the last very large batch of arrivals have come in to the Bastion, and thankfully since then it's been relatively quiet. It's a good time to compress, meet some new people and maybe have some good food at the distillery courtesy of Rin.]

[croceamors]

Not a lot of people seemed to have managed. Considering how sudden everything was, it's not surprising.

[He's just grabbing the drinks, really, there's no need to completely tag after him.]

So... how do we start this, then?

[This may come as a complete shock to Anya, but Saix has little to no idea how casual drinking goes let alone drinking games.]

[dontyoujustwish]

[The alternative is to hang out in the living room and attempt to bond with his dog. Anya is not so much a dog person.]

First you pour us some drinks, and then we take turns. I might say something like, "Never have I ever dyed my hair." Which is a lie, of course, so I would have to take a drink, but if that color is actually natural, you wouldn't have to.

[croceamors]

That sounds simple enough.

[And he could actually get away with minimal embarassing drunken behavior, maybe, with the right questions. So after the setting the bottles down on the coffee table and giving New Moon permission to follow him around, Saix gets the bottles next. He organizes it all very neatly on the table.]

Let's start with someone that isn't so... strong. [So yeah, just some hard lemonade for now. He suspects they'll get to the stout in good time. With the glasses poured, he leans back in his seat and keeps a hand on New Moon, whose tail won't stop wagging.] You first, then?

[dontyoujustwish]

If you insist.

[On the hard lemonade, that is. Anya takes one of the glasses and settles herself down on the sofa, being so considerate as to leave some space between them and not violate Saix's personal space. Not yet anyway.

Gee, what is something she hasn't done that Saix possibly might have. What's anything she hasn't done? Well, at least she has one freebie.]

Never have I ever owned a dog.

And is that your natural color, by the way?

[croceamors]

[Excuse him for not wanting to end up with on clothes in five minutes, Anya. Not that he really lost any clothes when he got embarrassingly drunk the last time, but you can never be too cautious in Saix's book.]

[Also, fine, he'll take a drink.]

Yes. Is that unusual? Also, never have I ever slept with more than one person.

[dontyoujustwish]

Yes, it's like some kind of freak genetic mutation.

[And yeah, definitely gotta take a drink there. She'll make it a long one.]

Never have I ever kissed a woman. On the lips.

[croceamors]

It's not that unusual. Blue is a fairly common color. At least it's not pink.

[Oh hey, looks like Saix isn't touching his glass for this one.]

Never have I ever gone to a party.

[dontyoujustwish]

What, not even once? God, you are deprived.

[Gotta take another drink. It'll be impressive if he comes up with one she hasn't done, probably.]

Never have I ever met a human with naturally pink hair.

[croceamors]

I've been working for most of my life.

[Marluxia, he hates you for inadvertently making him drink. Down it goes.]

Never have I worked for a boss that was concise and to the point.

[dontyoujustwish]

What, and you think I haven't?

[Granted her life has been much, much longer.]

...oh hey! Neither have I. D'Hoffryn had his manners and Giles, well. He was British.

[She looks so proud of herself for this small accomplishment.]

Oh, right. Never have I ever... intentionally caused the death of any coworker.

[croceamors]

Then I suppose we actually share something in common.

[Long winded bosses. What a great meeting point. Yeah. At the next one, he actually pauses.]

...Do I have to take a drink for each coworker?

[dontyoujustwish]

You say that like it's the only thing.

[Oh! She got one.]

Mm, I think you can just make it a good swallow. How many was it?

[croceamors]

[He counts first before deciding to drink.]

Six. [Aaaaand drink. He wrinkles his nose after he's done. He doesn't actually like the taste of this, but he's sacrificing taste for the ability to be able to walk straight in an hour.]

Never have I worn high heels.

[An easy enough target, right?]

[dontyoujustwish]

Now I wonder what they did to deserve that.

[Watch her not judge in the slightest. But, yeah, gotta take a drink there. She's probably wearing high heels right now, good job. Hey, if we're going for obvious:]

I've never been physically scarred.

[croceamors]

They got in my way.

[Hey, maybe you shouldn't be wearing high heels then, Anya! Jeez. Still, it's fair enough, and he takes yet another drink.]

I've never poisoned anyone.

[He's not sure if Anya has either, but hey, he's wondering.]

[dontyoujustwish]

[Anya has to think about this one.]

Does it count as poison if it was a potion which caused physical changes that weren't necessarily fatal?

[croceamors]

[Saix thinks on it for a second as well.]

I think it should. Not all poison kills.

[dontyoujustwish]

Fair enough. Well, I've done that numerous times.

[Watch her just drain the glass there.]

Never have I attended a full year of school.

[croceamors]

I suppose it wouldn't make sense for a demon.

[But he's actually attended highschool with minimal skipping, so he takes a drink.]

Never have I dyed my hair.

[dontyoujustwish]

Depends on the demon. You might be surprised.

[At his next statement, she waves her empty glass. Obviously she has to take that one, but.]

Are we moving on to the good stuff yet?

[croceamors]

...Fine.

[Hopefully he can avoid any more that pertain to him... Saix gets the stout with some bit of reluctance and pours her a glass.]

[dontyoujustwish]

I'm a natural brunette, by the way.

[She takes a drink of the stout, looking pleased.]

Let's see. I've never legally obtained any form of identification.

[croceamors]

[Saix can't remember doing anything legally when it came to the Organization, but... Isa surely would have had something in Radiant Garden, right? That's right, silly school IDs... Looking a bit suspicious at the stout, Saix takes his drink.]

...I suppose this doesn't taste too bad. [Now, what can he think of...] I've never had to deal with demons before Vatheon.

[dontyoujustwish]

[Anya takes another drink. She has dealt with many demons, and in many ways. She supposes she can't say she's never had sex with one either... Oh!]

I've never had sex as a man.

[croceamors]

[...Touche, Anya. Saix takes his drink.]

I've never had sex as a woman.
